Description
Every quilt, every article, and every photo is special. Why? Because we’ve reached a milestone: 20 years ago, this magazine hit the newsstand for the first time, and its impact has been felt ever since.
Since premiering in 2001, our vision has always been to promote the artistic aspect of quilting through unique surface design techniques, over-the-top embellishment, inventive stitching, and sharing amazing artwork. In this issue, we’ve sought to highlight the artistry of some very talented artists whose work does just that—all while blurring the boundaries between fine art and quilts.
